Gushu blend of material from the original six famous mountains (Yiwu, Mangzhi, Yibang, Youle, Manzhuan, Gedeng). With a mix of both autumn and spring leaf, it seems to have a thicker body and heavier brew than many of the YQH productions. Nice complexity during the tea session – I found both tobacco and old book leather (particularly in earlier infusions) as well as herbs, sweetness and fruitness. Active mouthfeel throughout the session. Never turned to bitterness. Very good YQH value found in this tea – premium 6 mountain blend; 10 years of age; great longevity and endurance; 500g cake ($0.39/gram). Dare I say a bargain YQH tea?

This is the YQH, I’ve been choosing to serve to guests. Nearly always really well-received. Fun, dynamic, tea that can be enjoyed on many levels.
Interesting choice. It would indeed be a good “company” sheng.
I think part of it has to do with the very friendly flavors and lack of much bitterness (if brewed with care). Sometimes I find myself oblivious towards the bitter flavors of even 15 year old sheng just because I’m so accustomed to it. This tea I don’t have to worry about that at all!
This tea is just very smooth and agreeable!
